@smrr-thanks! I need to stop drawing heads, cause that's like my comfort zone...all I ever draw really, I mean, what the hell's below the neck LOL
ah, I haven't seen that one...looks intense; reminds me of Kung Fu Hustle, though haha
Lately, I've been getting a lot of emails, texts, messages and mail sent to my house asking me what REALLY gets my body feeling good. So, in an effort to answer them all in one fell swoop, I made this:
These last 2 images are just study apply stuff and an image I'm working on. I created this very cool method of study/drawing that fits very well in my work schedule. I mean, it's like super sleek man...streamline and sexy, whip cream everywhere oiled and ready. On the days I work, I either study anatomy or light/color/rendering stuff. On the days I DON'T HAVE TO WERRRRRRK, I study a design element relevant to whatever piece or project I'm working on for a few hours then I work on said project, applying the shit I've learned.
I'm letting go of the idea of having many pages in my sketchbook filled a day....I just don't work like that; my mind prefers to focus on a single image and REALLLY understand it before I move on. I observe, put ref away, replicate it, look at ref again, and draw said ref image in my own way...
A fun thing I did today was observe an object for maybe 5mins and try to draw as accurately as I can off the dome; it eases pressure off of getting it perfect because the anticipation of trying to get it as close as I can excites me. Afterwards, I copy the image, noting all of my mistakes from before and I draw again without looking at it.
What else....ummm OH! I actually had fun while working on my WIP illustration...it was fun just doodling designs, trying to nail proportions and I was doing it while listening to dan's artcamp paintover videos. I think it was more relaxing because I reaalllly made it a point to plan ahead, study with a goal in mind...ya know, all of that stuff. I wasn't going in blind...dry and brittle...uninformed.
I was wet and ready.
